Laurentian Air Services Personnel List

When my first book, For the Love of Flying: The Story of Laurentian Air Services, came out in 2009, I created a small do-it-yourself website to host additional ‘living’ information. Recently, I let that domain name lapse, so I am moving the photos and stories and data – like the below – over to this site so that it will still be available to the amazing folks who worked at Laurentian and Air Schefferville, as well as other researchers. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to update anything in this table.
